Aww poor Bentley! If the blood is just from his tongue being frozen to a window and him removing it, it should heal up quickly. If it is still bleeding tomorrow and not improving I'd recommend calling your vet, as they may prescribe medication to help coat the tongue and prevent pain. In the meantime you can offer him some cold water to help keep the area clean, and since cold can help slow bleeding, this may help reduce the blood. If Bentley is having difficulty eating or drinking, call your vet, as he may be in pain.
